The years of being a superhero in Marvel

Chapter 746 The New Roommate

The small villa that Li Jie rented was not very big.The layout of the first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room and toilet.The main living spaces are concentrated on the second floor.

There are five rooms in total on the second floor.Li Jie has one room, and Lan has one room.Peter moved here after college, so he needed a room too.One is for Thor.So it stands to reason that one should still be vacant.

But because of the Asgard Valkyrie Sif's descent, this room was also given to her.So Strange actually doesn't have a separate room.

Li Jie asked Strange, how about he just live in his big house in Manhattan?
Strange refused, because he had agreed before leaving that he was going on a journey to cleanse his soul.As a result, if you go back before the time is up, won't you be slapped in the face?Strange is also a person who wants face!

Most people in the community where he lived knew him, so he couldn't go back in such a dispirited manner.Otherwise, who knows how many jokes about him will be circulated in the upper class in the future, Strange can't accept this kind of thing.

So it's nice to live in Queens and be close to Flushing.Because Li Jie lives here is a gathering place for Asians.The law and order conditions are much better than those of African-Americans or Hispanic Mexicans, and the crime rate is no different from that of white middle-class communities with excellent law and order.

And because it's a majority-minority neighborhood, it's rare for Strange's friends and colleagues to come here.In this way, there is no need to worry about Strange being seen by them.

And the most important point is that Strange doesn't really want to rely entirely on himself to teach himself magic.Please, only a fool would do this!

Magic is something that requires talent, but it is also very rigorous.A wrong syllable in the casting of the spell can destroy the mage forever.There are mages in Kamateki who don't have noses, or walk crookedly, these are problems when they cast spells.

The only standard for ordinary mages to graduate is that after learning and releasing all the basic magic, the body is still intact without any disease.This is considered to have passed the junior mage's exam.

Strange didn't want his handsome nose to disappear, or his face to be stretched into a horse's face.This is unacceptable to him.So he hopes to continue his studies to explore the mysteries of magic, and to have an experienced guide.

He has heard of Mage Lan's name. She is the youngest genius girl in Kamateki, but her strength is comparable to that of the three temple mages.A mage of this level is more than enough to teach himself.

So Strange asked to live in Li Jie's place in a deadpan manner, because only in this way, if he had anything he didn't understand about magic, he could find Lan immediately and get an answer.

Li Jie was noncommittal, he just asked Strange to sign a soul contract with him.After the signing of the soul contract, after Li Jie ensured that Strange would not reveal his secret, Li Jie directly took off his disguise, stretched out his hand to Strange with a smile on his face and said: " Then we need to meet again, Doctor Strange."

Strange was a little surprised, and it took him a long time to react.Because he actually knew the famous New York superhero Nightcrawler.He said in disbelief: "I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Li! I thought you were just an outstanding businessman and gourmet!"

Li Jie shrugged his shoulders: "Ah, that is indeed my real identity. You can regard Nightcrawler as an adjustment to your life." What Li Jie said made it difficult for Strange to tell the truth from the false.

Li Jie continued: "Since you have signed a soul contract with me, I will not hide many things from you. You can know a little about what you are about to face."

Strange's expression was very relaxed, because he escaped from Doom's range, he didn't have to worry about being bullied by Doom every day.And since this Mr. Nightcrawler also knew him, he shouldn't have a hard time in the future.

Li Jie took out the shrunken dining trolley from his belt, enlarged the trolley and motioned for Strange to sit on the trolley.Strange had a weird expression on his face, but he did as he did.

Li Jie used the dining car to break through the door of time and space, and went straight back to his basement.Then he brought Strange up and said as he walked, "You may be living here for a while."

Compared with Strange's tasteful big house, Li Jie's small villa is much old and outdated.But it's still much better than Kamateki.So Strange was a little happy, at least there was a fully automatic washing machine here, so he didn't need to wash clothes by hand.

He said excitedly, "Then where will I live in the future? There should be as many rooms here as possible."

Li Jie rubbed his chin and said in a deliberate tone: "Originally there should be. But I have some tenants here. I think you should know Lan."

When Li Jie said this, Lan just felt the surge of magic power in the basement, and she was walking out of the room with a thick book in her arms.Her hair was disheveled, and she was wearing a pair of cotton slippers in the shape of a chinchilla on her feet.

"Lan." Li Jie shook his head at Lan, indicating that there was a stranger here.Lan muttered something to Li Jie and then went back to the room, Li Jie did not hear what she was saying.

Li Jie shrugged: "She will be your teacher from now on. You have no problem."

"Uh, it should be." Is this little girl really the female mage I saw that day?Strange was a little skeptical.

"And there is also a college student from New York University who is a good friend of mine. Recently, he is doing a very important biological research. There is a no-entry sign on his door, and nothing inside can be touched. I need You abide by that."

Strange frowned, well, how powerful can a college student's project be?Maybe a graduation project?Anyway, just don't touch it yourself.

Just when Strange was thinking this way, there was a bang-bang business in the stairwell.A small and very young boy rushed out of the stairwell.

"Damn it, damn it! I actually overslept. I'm going to miss Professor Finn's class! I don't want to fail my first year!" Peter Parker rushed out of the upstairs like a wind.

"Hi~Jie! Can you lend me your car?" Li Jie threw the car keys to Peter and told him, "Drive carefully!"

Peter returned a gesture of reassurance, and waved his hand to the stranger Strange who appeared as a greeting.

A daredevil, this is Strange's first impression of Peter Parker.Just as he was thinking this way, suddenly there was a loud noise from the kitchen.

"What the hell! Did the gas explode? We have to evacuate here!" Strange panicked a little.

Li Jie grabbed him and yelled in the direction of the kitchen: "Sif! If you try to make any non-earth ingredients in my kitchen and use any non-earth cooking methods, I will ask you to return to Xian Miya! Say goodbye to your beloved Thor!"

After a while, the movement in the kitchen became quieter.A heroic female voice came over: "Okay! I will try to use an electric oven for barbecue next time. I will not use the flame scrolls of the elves again."

Li Jie helplessly supported his forehead.But Strange opened his mouth wide, oh my god, everyone in this room is too offline, right?Now the only one who looks normal seems to be Li Jie in front.

Wait, Strange suddenly noticed the name Li Jie said just now, and he asked with some doubts: "Who is the Thor you just mentioned? Is it the one I thought?"

Li Jie nodded: "Ah, yes. Now our room is tight, you probably need to live in the same room as Thor. And that Thor is indeed the one you think of."

While Li Jie was talking with Strange, the door of the room was opened.Thor walked in happily, holding two big bags and said, "Today I will pay the salary, I went to the Chinese supermarket to buy the materials, how about we have hot pot tonight?!"

Li Jie clapped his hands: "It's just right, let's go buy some beer, Thor. It's just right to welcome your new roommate. I think you need to get along well in the future."

Li Jie introduced each other to Thor and Strange: "Thor, Strange. I think you all know each other."

Strange took a deep breath before suppressing his emotions, and he said in a heavy voice: "Yes, I really do."
